How to get Siri to announce new Health information with Ultra 2

[GC251114]

Good evening.

As per the title thread , how do you set up on the new Ultra 2 for Siri to announce new Health information/mettics. As per the pic , when I ask it should provide the information, all down to the new chip.

When i ask any of what’s suggested it just says unable to provide & to open Health app on phone. Is there a setting on the watch I need to enable or a setting in the health app on the phone. If there is then I can’t find & any help is appreciated.

Many thanks.

On the watch, go to settings, health, apps and services, Siri and enable it

Hi.

Many thanks for that. I have found the setting & enabled it however as per the previous poster I am getting the same response of “ I can’t help with that & to open health app on phone “

check the settings on your phone, both for health app and Siri ...
is Siri enabled on the phone?

I have those enabled on both watch and iPhone.
Just one of those weird things. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Same here. All enabled on phone & watch but still getting same message. How weird.

well, enabling it on the watch (as in pics above) works for me.
Funny, on my iPhone, health app settings Siri does not have access to my health data

that's quite bizarre, I'd suggest rebooting the watch and if that does not work, contact Apple

If you are not in the United States or China it does not work. Massive thread elsewhere about it.

Just another stupid, nonsensical, baffling, pathetic decision by the Muppets at Apple… Add it to the list!

If you are not in the United States or, Japan I think, it does not work. Massive thread elsewhere about it.

Thank you!
I'm in the UK so that might well be it.

Been tearing out my few remaining hairs. 🙂

Welcome. And that’s definitely why. There is precisely no reason it shouldn’t work apart from Apple not enabling it. Utter bollocks!

that thought crossed my mind, but there is no reference in the support article that it is limited to US ...
@GC251114 - where are you located?

I am UK too. What utter nonsense !

Just as well I didn’t buy it for this.

Total nonsense.

It’s towards the bottom of this page:

(It says: Siri requests related to Health app data are now available in English (United States) and Mandarin Chinese (China mainland), with more languages to follow.)

Siri can now help users access and log their Health app data

Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 can now process Siri requests on device, including Health app data.

well, I sure know that different countries/regions have different privacy laws re health data, eg in the US its HIPAA so that might be why, similar to ECG but shouldn't take years to implement ...
